And with you, I and many others know, I'm sure those who are in power are well aware of this also.
A factor that worries me.
If one takes a moment to recall the UK's political landscape of the last few decades, the electorate was
confined to two-maybe-three parties that represented the general classes of the society. The Tories were
for those who ran industry and businesses and -with assistance from the media, were seen as to be of
high moral character.
I could fanny-about explaining more on how the Liberal Party came to life, but basically it was to do with
the Middle-Class developing in the 1930s.
The Labour Party were seen to be acting for the guy in the flat-cap and the wheelbarrow, the uneducated
and the downtrodden. Not quite 'I'm Alright Jack', but still a friend to the Trade Unions and an ally of the
'common man'.
Today, look that number of political parties available today and we've not mentioned The Raving Loony
Party!!
It's only an island if you look at it from the water.
